“The African American Museum of Iowa, nestled along the Cedar River near downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States, has been carrying out its mission “To preserve, publicize, and educate the public on the African American heritage and culture of Iowa” since its incorporation as a 501 organization in 1994.” Wikipedia

A small, but impactful, museum telling the story of how Africans were brought to this country as slaves, and then quickly transitions to the impact of African Americans in Iowa.
